This day I choose to spend in perfect peace.
It does not seem to me that I can choose to have but peace today. ²And yet, my God assures me that His Son is like Himself. ³Let me this day have faith in Him Who says I am God’s Son. ⁴And let the peace I choose be mine today bear witness to the truth of what He says. ⁵God’s Son can have no cares, and must remain forever in the peace of Heaven. ⁶In His Name, I give today to finding what my Father wills for me, accepting it as mine, and giving it to all my Father’s Sons, along with me.
And so, my Father, would I pass this day with You. ²Your Son has not forgotten You. ³The peace You gave him still is in his mind, and it is there I choose to spend today. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 255. See also ACIM Lesson 255 Insights.)
In the ego’s dream, peace must be a choice. It cannot come from the ego because the ego denies the Source of peace. But we do not have to accept the ego’s meager offerings. We have the choice to accept what God gave us as His Son. It is the choice that denies the ego’s denial of Love and thus “sacrifices” nothing to gain everything.
God’s gift of all of Himself is all there is to give, all there is to have. We do not have to qualify for His gifts. They are given without limit nor conditions because God knows His Son as He knows Himself. Today we choose to follow the Voice for God to lead us out of our mistaken allegiance and reclaim God’s gift of perfect peace. It is ours now. It needs only to be accepted to be experienced.
